That’s been my experience as well... and yet the file I downloaded has clipping masks and layers.
This must be opened in Illustrator though. It won’t work if you try in Photoshop.
BTW... I anticipate they’ll figure this out quickly and update the PDF to compress it as a single layer.
I’ve downloaded the file though and have the PDF on my system.

Im looking to have this debunked too. Please if someone can come up with a legitimate reason for the PDF to be a layered file, I want to know it.

A SCANNED PDF DOES NOT HAVE CLIPPING MASKS. PERIOD.
Clipping mask information is only generated by a program like Illustrator or Photoshop and is often retained as part of the file when rendered in PDF.

Thanks for the ping, thouworm.
Have they done this yet? I tried to access the White House file about a half hour ago, and received an odd error message.
